I use a strand of wire from a bicycle brake cable. The cable is kind of curly still and I didn't think it would work too well, but surprisingly, it does. I doubt that the wire will be around for a long time before it breaks, but that is ok, I have a lot of brake cables.

How?
I can barely get it through the first two pass throughs...how did you don the bury?
What did you use? Dental floss?

I tapered the end of the Zing-it and passed a small guitar string through the line and then repeated. I then put the guitar string up through the middle of the Zing-it, caught the tapered end again. i started to pull it through but found it easier to hold the guitar string end with a pair of needle nose pliers, much easier on the hands that way. It takes quite a bit of force to start the bury but it gets easier. Milk the line over the inserted line and you are done.

I hope this makes sense and helps you

Hey GrayDog,

Any small wire will do, the brake cable wire sounds like it will work great also.

I keep breaking the brake cable...thanks for the tip, I'll borrow, one of my son's strings...he'll never miss it...so far, he hasn't missed the brake cable from his bike.
